Property Description

Hootananny is a lively hostel with spacious rooms in a traditional Edwardian public house dating back to the early 1850s. We offer large, airy, comfortable rooms and have a great reputation for a warm atmosphere and helpful staff. We're located in the heart of Brixton with excellent transport links - a great location to stay and explore the city of London.

With just a ten-minute walk to Brixton underground station, you are straight into Central London on the tube in less than 15 minutes. As one of Londons most diverse and vibrant areas, Brixton has world famous covered and street markets, is a hub for music venues, is full of atmospheric pubs and has the pick of the worlds best cuisine with a great selection of restaurants. Hootananny is located right next to two bus stops with 24-hour connections to the city centre.

Hostellers are treated to a 20% discount on drinks at the award-winning Hootananny music venue downstairs. Hootananny is a raucous music venue in Brixton with a lively beer garden and live music Wed-Sun and sometimes in between!

- The hostel is located above a live music venue, and music can be heard throughout the hostel until fairly late on Friday and Saturday nights. This does not prove to be a problem for many of our guests, but we can provide you with earplugs if you would like to ensure a good night's sleep.

Hostel was ok, its well located in Brixton, not far from Tube and with a pub below, so it gets quite loud. Cheers to the rather simple breakfast and having your own kitchen , free eaeplugs&towels and a living room with a guitar and some board games. Could have quite more cleaning specially in the kitchen (balcony behind stove is a mess with mice) and around the beds and showers. Its ok for a cheap stay in London and if you are planning to go out till late-ish, otherwise I wouldn’t recommend

A fine hostel! Friendly staff. Nice lounge area and kitchen. Decent shower/laundry/toilet facilities. Locker provided but it wasn’t in the room and they’re probably not crazy secure if someone really wanted to get in. Bed was comfy but quite creaky and shaky which wasn’t ideal for the person below me in the bottom bunk. Lively bar downstairs with excellent live music. I’d stay again for sure but I’d request a bottom bunk. Much love, Hootananny.
